Sirs
Referring to the enclosed note from Mr. Cortelyou, Secretary to
the President, upon the case of Richard L. Herbert, fromerly an employe
ia the United States Assay Office at Denver, I would respectfully
state that the facts in Mr. Herbert's case were as follows:

Mr. Herbert received his appointment for the usual proba-
tionary term of six months om the second day of July, 1899, and at the
end of that period this of fice was advised by the Assayer in Charge
that his services were not satisfactory, the Assayer quoting the language
of Section 3, Rule 8, of the Civil Service regulations which authorizes
the dismissal of a probationary appointee at the end of the six months
period without preferring specific char ges. The action of the Assayer
in Charge was within the discretion allowed by the rules ani regulations,
and was, therefore, not the subject of inquiry on the part of this offices
The vacancy was filled in the regular manner from the eligible list.

Respectfully,

Ditector of the Mint.

The Honorable
Secretary of the Treasury.
Sirs

I enclose herevith a communication from the Aesayer in Charge of the

Us Se Mint at Denver in which he reviews certain charges ef undue political

activity which he understands have been filed against him before the
President. In submitting his defense I desire to add that I think hie

case is entitled to very careful consideration before a conclueion aga inet
him is reached. The office has been welleconducted, he has contl nued

to keep as Chief Clerk of the mint, the most responsible position under
him, a very efficient man, but one without political influence in Colorado,
despite the fact that it is an excepted place and a much sought for one.
Doubtless he has personally taken an active interest in the polities of tle
State, but it is to be remembered to his credit that he was leyal to the
Republican party throughout all the years of silver agitation when his
fidelity seemed likely to exclude him fram office holding in that State for
ell the future. It is also worthy to be recalled that he is a veteran of
the Union army, nearly seventy years cf age, and that hie property was
avept away in the reverses of 1893 and following years, leaving him dependent
upon his personal exertions for a livlihood.

Respectfully yours,

Director of the Mint.

Sirs
Referring to the enclosed note from Mre Cortelyou, Secretary to the
President, and letter of We Re Grace in behalf of Miss M. M. Byrne, an
employe of the San Francisco mint, I beg to say that the action of the
Superintendent in furloughing a portion of the force is doubtless due to
not having work enough at present to keep them employed. IZ the proposed
measure for a monetary system in the Philippines, involving a heavy coinage |
of Philippine money, becomes a lew, there will be saints for the entire
San Francisca force for a year or mores Without some extra work of that
kind it will be necessary to fwilough a considerable portion of it.
The attention of the Superintendent will be called te the
case of Mise Byrne with a view of giving her the benefit of whatever
preference her past service in the mint may entitle her to. |
The letters of Mr. Cortelyou and Mre Grace are herewith ceearant

the close of the current fiscal year, in order that the mint may be
“prepared to meet all demands that may be made upon it for coinage.

Referring to the letter enclosed from Mr. John Pp. Donahue, relative to
the appointment of his daughters to pot tions in the Mint dt Philadelphia,
I beg to'say that the only appointments of women at that institution within
the last two years have been bree charwomen, one sewing woman and a tele« :
plone switchboard operator. I regret that it is impracticable to comply
; with Mr. Donahue's request but the work heretofore done by women in the
Philadelphia mint is now being dons to a great extent by iniultileiniy, ania thine
is no probability that any more women will be appointed there for some time
to come. That portion of the force is being reduced as rapidly as is practi-
cable without involving unnecessary hardship upon the present foree of

The position of transiater in this Bureau is now vacant and I respectfully
request you to nominate’ to the President for appointment therate, under the
dieriatens of paragraph 6 of Rule 4 of the Civil Service Rules, Mr. J. Le
Garner of Midwaukes , Wiscongin. Mr. Garner, 7. have reason to beliave possesses
peculisr and unusual qualifications for the place. The translator in this of-
fice is expected te not only make the translations which are referred to him,
but to do independent work in comphling the rspert upon the production of the
precious metals and in revising the amuel review of the monetary systems of
the World for the Ziscal report. For this reason it is important that he shall
be more than a mere translator and that he shall have stich knowledge of the
terms aia principles of political economy and of monetary science and such
ability . the treatment of the subject that he can form an independent judg-
ment of the value.of the materials which he finds in his reading of foreign
publications. Our experience has apie rab that it is difficult by an ordi-

nary competitive examination to sift out the individual wanted from a great

number of applicants. An examination for this purpose was held abeut ome year

ago ‘and a areat specu of papers examined and what sgemed to be the best selection

available was wade. The result, however, was not satisfactory.

I have formed a — impression of Captain C. We Boothby, the
present Superintendent of the Mint at New Orleans during his inewnbency.
ne has devoted himself closely to it, has observed Civil Service regulations —
maneteiay, his administration has been generally satisfactory, and Ishould
say that it would be in the interest of the service to retain him rather.
ae te educate a new man in the position. . f
Captain Boothby was a Union soldier in a Maine regiment, went te
New Orleans with General Butler and after the War made it his home. From ny
contact with him I believe him to be an honest and conscientious man aml
have never heard anything calculated to weaken this estinays of him. On the
contrary have been frequently told that he had the respect of the commuity.
I think it is fair to consider also that he lost a son in Cuba.

during the War with Spain, in one of our volunteer regiments.

The Honorable

Sir: |
Referring to the enclosed communication fron Hots, De B. Henderson,

‘Speaker of the House of Represéntatives, asking for your opinion upon
H. B. 68 to.establish a mint at Vint I beg to says |

The government has recently siamese & new structure in Philadel.
phia which was occupied by the mint in October last. The building cost 7
§2,000,000 and $440,000 is appropriated for equipment. When the equipment
is completed this wil. be the largest and best mint in the world, There is.
also now under construction at Denver a mint for which $500,000 has been
appropriated and for which the Supervising Architect is now vib $300, 000.
more. An appropriation of at Least $150,000 will be required for the
equipment of this institution. These two new mints in connection with the
Mints at San Francisco sand New Orleans will afford ample facilities to de
all the coinage that will be required for many years to come.

In a hearing held by the Coinage Committee upon a similar bill
two years ago, the Director of the Mint made o statement that when the ré=
ceipts of the Seattle Assay Office reached the sum of 30,000,000 per year
it might be as cheap to coin the bullion there or elsewhere on Puget Sound
as to forward it to San Francisco. This without allowing for the cost of

the establis imentywhich the Director was not prepared to estimate. The —

‘bullion receipts of the Seattle Assay Of fice have not, however, reached that

figure and there is no immediate prospect that they will. ;
With the completion of the Denver Mint there is no reason why the

government may not have a rest from mint construction for some years, The -
appropriation named in the Biil, $200,000, is inadequate for the construction
and equipment of a mint end would have to be followed by other and lerger
appropriations before coinage operations could be begun. |

, I have the honor to return herewith the letter of W. H. Redheffer,
Chairman of the Executive Committee of War Veterans Club, Philadelphia,
addressed to the President, asking for a reinstatement of Ganbalsn Rebert
Stewart, a veteran dismissed from the Mint at Philadelphia in 1894, with
the following conments thereon:

It has been, I believe, the uniform policy of the supdetat sna
of the iinigin conformity with instructions from this Bureau, to give the
preference in the sititnia ef appointments te veterans wherever it was prace
ticable to do so. An examination of the record some weeks since revealed
that during the adminsitration of the present Superintendent he had reine
stated seventeen veterans, promoted fourteen and appointed four, which in

view of the comparatively small number of changes may be taken to establish

the fact that he has not been unfriendly to the old soldiers. He has not

found it practicable, however, to grant ail the requests for reinstatement

that have been pressed upon him for two reasons. These removals, as in

the case of Captain Stewart , occurred some sayen or eight years ago and even

though unjustified at the time, are now too old to warrant retaliatory action.

Sir:-

I have the honor to cali your attention to the necessity
existing for adei tional machinery and appliances, required
py the United States Mint at San Francisco, to place ‘ce in-
| stitution in such condition as will enable at to promptly meet
all demands, both of the Government and the fing for coin-
age operations.

Little edditional machinery has been added to the present
mint at San Hrerioinoo, Since 1874, and much of the machinery
and appliances have, by reason of the many modern improvements,
become antiquated. ; |

Experience in the mint at Philadelphia has shown that
it is more economical to melt and anneal by gas than with coal
and wood, as was formerly the practice, and it has also been
found that machinery can be more advantageously operated by

elec tricity than STEAM.

Replying te the communication of Purnell M. Milner, Attorney for the
pidelity & Deposit Company of Maryland, surety for Henry Kolhaase, late We igher at
the New Orleans Mint, I beg to say that the uncurrent silver dollare with which
Kolnaase was charged and which are missing, were carried on the books of the Mint
1 in the accounts of the Tressury at their face value, and the emount missing.
even nndred and seventy-five dellers ($775.) must unquestionably be vade good
te the Treasuryby somebody, ond properly by Kolhaase's surety.

i. The reason why this money had remained in the Mint. for so long a time

was that no law existed under which the loss which would necesearily accrue from re~

6 coinage could be provided for in the accounts. The coin being more or less worn

to an extent that made it desirable to have it retired irom circulation, come of
it no doubt could be passed. Kolhaase appears te have sorted itpas the soa.
x every sack was found to have been broken and we my presune ‘that the waeling
solns are today in circulation.

f Respectfully,

Diractor of the Mint

r 8 loss would inevitably have occurred in recoinage and the Repertory would have

been short in his aceowmts to that emount. Although the ‘coin was worn and mibilated:
